On the 14th, the KFA decided to convene the first board of directors in 2025 at the Shinmun-ro Football Center in Seoul, form an election management committee to conduct the 55th presidential election of the Korea Football Association within this month, and start the election with the approval of the board of directors in early February.
The meeting was convened urgently to discuss issues related to the reorganization of the committee and the presidential election as the election management committee resigned on the 10th. It was held for about two hours with 16 of the 23 current directors attending on-site and video.
On this day, the board of directors decided to broaden the scope of the members to enhance transparency and fairness in the composition of the members. According to the regulations, the election management committee consists of legal, media, and academia, and the scope of media participation will be expanded to reflect not only professionalism but also a fair view in public standards. In addition, it was decided to appoint a steering committee member with the recommendation of legal, media, and academic organizations as much as possible.
At the end of this month, there is a Lunar New Year holiday, and if the association forms an election management committee by the end of January with the recommendation of related organizations, the election management committee can start its election work with the approval of the board of directors in early February. The election schedule will be discussed later at the Election Commission.
On the 8th, the KFA asked the National Election Commission to review the commissioned progress of the association's presidential election and is waiting for a formal response. However, even if it is entrusted to the Central Election Commission, there is a unique election work that the organization (Korea Football Association) must conduct, so it must be formed by its own election management committee.
The Korea Football Association reported to the board of directors that the regular general meeting of delegates in January will be held in a written resolution on the 22nd.
